Why One-and-Done Safety Training Doesn’t Cut It

A young restaurant worker in uniform looking confused and unsure, standing in a commercial kitchen, symbolizing the consequences of forgotten or incomplete safety training.

Imagine driving without any speed limit signs. Sure, you remember the rules… but how fast is too fast? Are you confident—or guessing?

That’s what it’s like for restaurant workers who only get safety training once when they’re hired.

In the real world, memory fades. Fast.

What the Forgetting Curve Tells Us

There’s a well-documented phenomenon called the forgetting curve. In short: if you don’t revisit or apply what you learn, you forget most of it—fast. Within just one month, the average person forgets 90% of what they learned.

Let that sink in.

So if you trained a new hire two months ago and never circled back, how much do you think they’re still using?

Why Ongoing Safety Training Matters

Safety isn’t a “one and done” topic. It’s not a line item to check off the list. It’s an active habit—one that needs reinforcing regularly.

That’s why the Restaurant Employee Safety Training program (REST) was built to follow the natural rhythm of the workplace:

  • 13 complete training modules

  • Delivered over 12 months

  • One new video every 28 days

Why 28 days? Because it aligns with what we know about how memory works—and how busy restaurant life is.

Every 4 weeks, your team gets a fresh reminder to “Think Safe. Work Safe. Be Safe.”

And you get peace of mind.

Safety that Sticks (and Stays)

Every module in REST includes:

  • A short, engaging training video

  • A quick quiz to reinforce the learning

  • A certificate to prove safety training was completed

And here’s the best part: once an employee is enrolled, they get lifetime access. They can rewatch, re-certify, and refresh any time—no extra cost to you.

We even send out the reminder emails for you.

You can now REST assured, your crew is staying sharp, safe, and certified—week after week, year after year.

One-Time Training Can Backfire

Let’s say there’s an injury. OSHA shows up. You say your employee was trained.

But they say, “I don’t remember that… that was over a year ago.”

That’s not going to hold up. Not in a real investigation. Not in court. And certainly not when it comes to insurance claims.

Training needs to be documented, visible, and current.

With REST, it is.

Final Thought

Safety is a long game—but it doesn’t have to be hard. When training is built into your workflow, your team gets the message loud and clear:

“You matter. Your safety matters. And we’re in this together.”

Let REST handle the training reminders so you can get back to running your restaurant.
